[Verse 1]
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
In this place hundreds of millions of light years from the sun
We, unable to cease the division of our cells
Are crying as we sing the orbiting stars' song

[Verse 2]
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
The orbiting stars' song echoes on and on
As countless sorrows accompany all into the night

[Verse 3]
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
The depths of that laughing guy's eyes become sullied
That day in the morning when the letter arrived
Will surely slip from our memories, won't it?

[Chorus]
We, who cannot live except by killing
Find it excruciating to live, and yet
We're told that living is joy
By this warm and uncertain thing
I keep letting myself be roped, and even now, I live

[Chorus]
We, who cannot live except by killing
Find it excruciating to live, and yet
We're told that living is joy
By this warm and uncertain thing
I keep letting myself be strung along, and even now, I live
[Verse 4]
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
We, unable to cease the division of our cells
Are crying as we sing the orbiting stars' song

[Verse 5]
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
We, who cannot live except by killing
Are crying as we sing the orbiting stars' song

[Verse 6]
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
In this place hundreds of millions of light years from the sun
We, unable to cease the division of our cells
Are crying as we sing the orbiting stars' song

[Break]
We head to the sun
We head to the sun
We head to the sun
'Cuz we'll surely meet again there

[Chorus]
We, who cannot live except by killing
Find it excruciating to live, and yet
We're told that living is joy
By this warm and uncertain thing
I keep letting myself be strung along, and even now, I live
[Track 1]
We, who cannot live except by killing
Find it excruciating to live, and yet
We're told that living is joy
We're unable to stop the division of our cells

[Track 2]
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
It's said that living is joy
Though undefined and uncertain, it's warm

The time to make a choice has come

[Verse 7]
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
We, unable to cease the division of our cells
Are crying as we sing the orbiting stars' song

[Verse 8]
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
The stars of Sirius, Vega, Altair, Tycho
The orbiting stars' song echoes on and on
As countless sorrows accompany all into the night
